Chelsea boss Conte admits Giroud could start against Man Utd

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte admits Olivier Giroud could start tomorrow against Manchester United.

Conte has been impressed by how quick Giroud has settled into life at the club, scoring one goal and assisting three more in three outings since his Deadline Day arrival from Arsenal.

He said: "I think Olivier is working very well with us, and I'm pleased.

"It seems as if he's been with us for a long time, and not for just two weeks. For the game [on Sunday] he's in contention.

"We'll see what my final decision will be for the starting XI."
